Some offices have declared a holiday on the release day of Rajinikanth's movie Kabali
Rajinikanth, who is not so much a force of nature as an entire weather system, returns to the screen in Friday's film Kabali. For many fans, this is an occasion that merits a day off from work.
Some offices have declared Friday a holiday as a pre-emptive measure. Thus have Chennai startup Fyndus and Bengaluru company Opus prevented a potential mass exodus caused by Kabali-watching:
In Coimbatore, software company Payoda has bought 'first day, first show' tickets for 300 lucky employees:
On Sunday, a flashmob performed a Kabali-themed dance routine in a Chennai cinema with accompanying anti-piracy messages urging cine-goers to watch the film in theatres. On Friday, an Air Asia plane decked out in Kabali-themed livery will fly fans from Bengaluru to Chennai for the movie's fist show.
Kabali, directed by Pa Ranjith, stars Rajinikanth as a Malaysian mob boss. The cast includes Radhika Apte and Taiwanese actor Winston Chao.
